Pie Bunting and a Little Hubby Update~

John turned 41 last week. Because of his injuries, we kept our celebration low key. But when his parents came into town a couple of days later, we had the whole family over for a little celebrating...and I took the opportunity to make a bit of a fuss over him. He has been craving pie lately, so that's what we had in place of cake.

But how to make a pie look festive? I have seen several darling cake buntings around blogland lately. In particular, I saw this fun tutorial over at Susie's blog last week. Since I happened to have all the supplies on hand, I decided to whip one up. (Now don't look too closely...because when I say I whipped one up, I'm not kidding...I put it together in about five minutes before the family started to arrive). But it sure did add the little sumthin' sumthin' I was hoping for.

And now for a little update...John has been able to get around a little better lately, so this last week we stopped by to see my Mom and Dad. I snapped this picture of my two favorite men and their matching walkers. I think it's cute!

(For those of you who may not know about all that has happened with my hubby and my dad this past month, you can read more here and here.)

But after spending the night in the Emergency Room last Thursday, we discovered that John has a blood clot in his leg. It's small, but we have to keep a close eye on it. SCARY!

So progress is coming, but it's very slow. Just trying to keep my chin up. But I gotta keep it real...it's tough. Thanks to all of you who keep my spirits up with your sweet comments and emails! I sure am grateful!

That is such a sweet picture of your dad and husband! We will keep both of them and their recovery in our prayers! And you too because I know this is just as hard on you (its not easy "sitting" by and watching your loved ones hurting... I know... been there, done that!) Breath deep and take it one moment at a time, okay so I am preaching to myself mostly! ha ha! Take care and know that you are being thought of and prayed for daily!!

I'm sure it was wonderful celebrating his birthday. Instances like the ones you've been through this last month, put birthdays into perspective. Each one celebrated is a blessing. Hope those two men of yours continue to improve. Take care. - Suzanne
